Hi, all

I am newbie trying to use MSVC 6.0 to build ethereal under Windows XP,
In my cygwin shell, I tried:

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cd' : return code '0x1'
Stop.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
What's the reason for this fatal error? And the advice to cope with it
is also very appreciated, 


After directly download the source code(Ethereal-1.1.0-SVN-18188),
unpacked it, try configure it, the following problem encounted
